lyrics

CAST:
There he goes, our former friend
The very last rock star has gone around the bend
He grabbed his coat
And he played one last note, and he said
BOY:
That’s all folks, this is the end.

CAST:
And there he goes, is he alright
The very last rock star is fading out of sight
He’s in his car
And he took his guitar, and he said

BOY:
That’s all folks, say nighty-night.

MERCURY:
It’s finally time to turn the page (turn the page)
Our boy has jumped down off the stage (he’s left the stage)
After so many funky shows
And where he’s headed no one knows

CAST:
But there he goes, oh sorry day
The very last rock star has nothing left to say
He could no longer sing
And he broke a string, and he said

BOY:
That’s all folks my my hey hey.

BECKY:
And the band just keeps on playing
(look at ‘em go)
Hoping for the show to go on
(don’t stop the show)
And the crowd just keeps on paying

MERCURY:
But it’s a con, the star is gone,

ALL:
He promised them a rose
And then he punched them in the nose
And there he goes, hanging up the phone,
The very last rock star has finally outgrown
His favorite bluesy licks
And all the party chicks, and he says

BOY:
Where I go now I go alone

ALL:
And there he goes, god save his soul
The very last rock star
And the very last rock and roll
Well he had his fun
But the game is done, and he says

BOY:
Where I go now I will be whole….
I’m gonna be whole
I’m gonna be one
I’m gonna walk out
In the morning sun
Be no more tears
Be no more war
Brothers and sisters
Don’tcha weep no more

MERCURY:
It’s finally time to turn the page
Our boy has jumped down off the stage
After so many funky shows
And where he’s headed no one knows
But there he goes

KITTEN AND BECKY:
So sorry boys

MERCURY:
The very last rock star has packed away his toys

KITTEN & BECKY:
Seems wrong, to stop the song, but he says

BOY:
Thanks oh so much, now move along.
